Looking to power my setup, an alternative to carrying 7 adapters… Any suggestions?
I plan to carry everything in a case and play it in clubs or outdoor events (there will be power so battery pack is not mandatory)…
I need to power:
Digitakt II, Model D, Microfreak - 12V, 1000mA
Golden Master, Zoia - 9V
Korg Nts3, Midi to USB hub - 5V USB power
Options for extentions, for example korg volca…
Currently the golden master pedal receives and amplifies interference (sounds like radio, my guitar amp connected to the same wall socket also does this)
Also, it would be awesome if it would fit under my pedalboard (pedaltrain)
I looked for various pedalboard power supplies, the only thing that comes close is the Voodoo Labs pedal power 3 but even this one doesn’t have enough amperage for the 12V requirements…
There’s some discussion around a similar topic that might be useful, though it’s not so specific to your setup. In my experience it’s not so easy for even a higher amperage psu to deliver the promised amount during the heavier draw demands of the startup process.
The reliability and accuracy of the components used in the power supply itself are eventually called into question and even then, those elements are often growingly disproportionate in cost to stability as the price goes up.
Hopefully something discussed here will help point you in the correct direction as my powering needs are probably a bit more simple than yours but I don’t currently have a solution for powering more than a few boxes at a time either. Even a PSU with (in theory) more amps than required, when put into practice, can’t get 4 devices turned on simultaneously without the units all rebooting as each new device was added in.
The PSU with more amps simply can’t keep the flow constant and stable when the new surge from each device’s startup draw occurs.
